jestep Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 What UV range are you looking for? Is this for a black light, or sterilization, etc.? I know some of the decent UV LED's are very expensive, like $300+ each. There's also a lot of quality problems with UV wavelengths. I think the UV wavelengths are more difficult to create LED's with, or there just isn't a lot of need for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 That's UVC. That's by far the hardest LED's to find, not many companies make UVC LED's. It's a lot more than just output, the wavelength is key to how efficient the LED is at killing bacteria and pathogens. There's a few companies that currently make them. A company called Crystal IS is supposed to be coming out with a monster 9W UVC LED, but I don't think it's available yet. Anyway, look for 240nm LED's. They're extremely difficult to find. I checked all the LED sources I know, and the lowest wavelength they stock is UVA which would be the equivalent of a black light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
